We may revise and/or update the Service Terms and Policies from time to time at our sole and absolute discretion. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Service Terms and Policies, the Service Terms and Policies shall prevail.
- The intended purpose of the Tokens is to facilitate the payment for the provision and receipt of data, goods and/or services on the Platform (collectively, the “Services”) which Services are more particularly set out in the White Paper, which will be published and updated by the Company from time to time and which you will be able to find on the Website. Important information about the Services, the Token and the Token Sale and procedures and specifications are provided in the White Paper, including in particular certain legal considerations, risks and disclosures. You hereby agree that you have read the White Paper that can be found on the Website and have understood its contents in its entirety. You hereby also confirm that you have taken independent legal advice before accepting the Agreement (including these Terms). The Services will be provided through an online software platform described in the White Paper (the “Platform”) that is currently at an advanced stage but is still under development by the Company or an Affiliate thereof. More specifically, Tokens are intended to facilitate the provision of the Services to the users of the Platform and will constitute proof of prepayment for the Services.
- The purchase, ownership, receipt, transmission or possession of Tokens carries no rights, express or implied, other than the right to use Tokens as a means to enable usage of and interaction within the Platform. The Terms shall not and cannot be considered as an invitation to enter into an investment or purchase any Security, security or financial instrument. The Terms do not constitute or relate in any way, nor should they be considered, as an offering of Securities, securities or financial instruments. The Terms do not include or contain any information or indication that might be considered as a recommendation or that might be used to base any investment decision. Tokens are intended to serve as a functional utility and a means of payment within the Platform only and are not intended to be used as an investment. Further, you must note that Tokens do not represent or confer any ownership right or stake, share, equity or security or equivalent rights, or any right to receive future revenue shares or voting rights or intellectual property rights in the Company or any affiliate thereof.

- The Company, or an Affiliate thereof, will use reasonable endeavours to launch its operations and develop the Platform. Any person agreeing, covenanting or undertaking to acquire Tokens acknowledges and understands that neither the Company nor any Affiliate thereof provides any guarantee that it will establish an operative Platform or provide the Services and therefore it cannot guarantee that the Tokens can be used to purchase or access goods or Services on the Platform. You acknowledge and understand therefore that neither the Company nor any Affiliate thereof assumes any liability or responsibility whatsoever or howsoever arising for any loss or damage that would result from or relate to the incapacity or inability to use Tokens in whole or in part or for their intended function.
